The summative assessment of the MA in Composing for Film and TV may be approached by two routes, either (1) a portfolio of original media compositions, or (2) one original media composition and a critical dissertation on an agreed media music topic. The choice of whether to write a Dissertation lies with the student, in consultation with the Programme Director. Students taking option (1) build their media portfolio throughout the year, but the main body of work is during the summer period following completion of the taught units. The portfolio usually includes collaboration with one of the MAFTVP or MAASM projects in the Drama Department. Guidance on the portfolio is provided by the course Tutor and by the Programme Director.
